Roasted cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be easily made at home. With the addition of Asiago cheese and orange, this dish takes on a new level of flavor. The cauliflower is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, while the Asiago cheese melts and bubbles, creating a crispy crust. The orange adds a sweet and tangy flavor that balances out the richness of the cheese. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
